I have my 1098-T form but I don't see where I can apply this to my tax return.

Use the search function. Type 1098-T in the search box and click on jump to 1098-T.

Here is some information about education tax benefits. If you are aware of all of this, just ignore it. Deduction and credits for qualified education expenses (tuition, fees and in some cases books and course related materials and equipment) are tied to dependency. Whoever claims the student as a dependent (student or someone else) on their tax return is the one who can claim qualified education expenses paid out of pocket or with loans for deduction or credit. It doesn't matter who actually paid the expenses. On the other hand, scholarships that paid non qualified expenses such as room and board must be entered on the student's tax return as income.
